Answer:

Number of adult leaders in the troop are 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of cub scouts in troop 645 are = 18

As per statement given in the question "The number of scouts is 3 more than five times the number of adult leaders"

Number of scouts = 5(Number of adults) + 3

Here number of scouts = 18

Therefore, equation will become as

18 = 5(Number of adults) + 3

5(Number of adults) = 18 - 3

5(Number of adults) = 15

Number of adults = $\frac{15}{5}$

= 3

Therefore, number of adult leaders in the troop are 3.
